Default Headliner vibration?

When you open your sunroof and drive (even at moderate speeds -4-60mph) does your headliner, behind the sunroof opening vibrate? You can easily see this in your rear view mirror.

Mine does. I think that rushing air is mostly trapped inside the headliner cavity w/ a slow exhaust through the back, causing this. Is this the norm? Is there a fix?

Mine does it too. Even if just the windows are rolled down.

try cracking a window or two, that fixes most of these issues with wind buffetting.

if that doesnt work, the headliner may be insufficiently secured.

I understand now that it vibrates if it's missing a fastener or is not attached completely. I will have it checked.

LiveNupe, GoMo, post here if your dealer finds the problem.
